Why does my ROAS drop every time I increase my Meta ad budget?

Increasing budget too quickly can expand audience reach to less interested users. Try micro-scaling to maintain high-intent targeting.

How often should I refresh my ad creatives?

For small budgets, refresh every 2–4 weeks. For larger budgets, consider every 1–2 weeks to avoid ad fatigue.

What’s the best way to retarget without being too ‘stalker-y’?

Segment retargeting by engagement and use frequency caps to limit impressions, maintaining a helpful presence without overdoing it.

Should I use lookalike audiences or custom audiences?

Use lookalike audiences to expand reach and custom audiences for retargeting, upselling, and higher conversion rates.

What’s the best type of creative for Meta Ads?

Video, carousel ads, and user-generated content are proven to perform well, attracting attention and encouraging interaction.

How can I make my ads stand out in a crowded feed?

Use bold visuals, clear CTAs, and storytelling. Interactive ads, like polls, also help increase engagement.

Creative Fatigue 😴	Same ads running for too long, leading to burnout	Fresh creatives for each audience level
Budget Imbalance 💸	Budgets set on autopilot, with no optimization for ROI	Reallocated based on performance
Weak Retargeting 🚫	Limited attempts to re-engage high-value audiences	Built a layered retargeting
